Okay, now I will watch it. Are the DVDs slated to come out this summer?

Better yet, Cindy: I hear NBC is going to be rerunning the season starting May 27. Also, the episodes are on NBC.com, if you can handle that.
Please, NBC, don't fuck it up and remove the football.
Are they...planning to? I mean, the football is...sort of important. I did find that I started liking the show much more after the episodes stopped focusing solely on football, though. But I don't understand why you would take out the football entirely. That makes no sense.

I don't think they ever focused solely on the football. But yeah, there were rumors that they were going to have less of it because they thought that's what was making people not watch. Also that they were going to move it to Fridays. Which, while it matches the name of the show, is exceedingly stupid.

Maybe not, but a friend of mine noted that the show improved for her after episode six, after five episodes of "Will they win the game???" It struck me that episode six was also when I started to like it more. It was the first time The Game wasn't hanging over the entire episode, and as the season went on, we often just got snippets of games; they weren't the climactic parts of the episodes.
But, honestly, I imagine they're right about the football being what's making people not watch. It's at least one major factor. Hell, it was one for me.
Also that they were going to move it to Fridays.
The CW could pick it up! Friday Night Lights / Friday Night Smackdown! Brilliant!

I think maybe it faded more into the background for you. Right after ep 6 was the homecoming game, the game with the racist players, the mud bowl, and of course State. And, it's not just the at the game stuff I would miss. I'd miss the attitude and crap these boys can throw at each other during practice, boys figuring out how to be leaders, girls figuring out how to be strong women in a culture (specifically football obsessed culture) that values them only as adornments to men.
For me if you pull out the football threads, it falls apart into another teen drama, even if it's still a more realistic one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugly Betty: I love how Marc is one of my favorite characters now.
